Afferent Neural Branching at Human Acupuncture Points: Do Needles Stimulate or Inhibit?

Background: Acupuncture has previously been considered to be stimulatory to the nervous system; however, the specific mechanism for this remains unknown, with the few published studies of acupuncture-point histology showing reduced numbers of nerves and neural receptors at acupuncture-point sites. O...
